January 23. 2023.	Decision no. 00985-2022-PHC/TC	Constitutional Tribunal of Peru	Rights of prisoners; criminal law; statute of limitations	The Constitutional Tribunal of Peru held that the statute of limitations of crimes should not be modified by emergency decrees or by administrative resolutions based on the emergency decrees.	A man was sentenced in Peru for tax fraud in 2021, the crime was committed in 2000. He submitted a habeas corpus action to the Constitutional Tribunal because according to Peruvian Criminal Code, a criminal sanction should be imposed within three years of committing a crime, and in this case, this deadline was overstepped by 18 years. The authorities referred to the suspension of statutes of limitations during the public health emergency and also after an earthquake took place in 2007. The Constitutional Tribunal held that despite these suspensions, the late conviction infringed the due process rights of the claimant, including the right to effective remedy, the right to detailed judicial motivation and the right to an inpartial judicial proceeding. Moreover, statutes of limitations of crimes should not be extended by emergency decrees or by judicial resolutions, therefore, the conviction was annulled as unconstitutional.				https://www.covid19litigation.org/news/2023/01/peru-broad-extension-procedural-time-limits-under-emergency-rules-cannot-apply-statute

December 15. 2020.	No. 00011-2020-PI/TC.	Constitutional Tribunal of Peru	Separation of powers	The Constitutional Tribunal of Peru nullified a law adopted by the Congress allocating additional fund for public health workers since in Peru only the executive power has the authority to initiate budget laws.	The Congress of Peru enacted a law providing additional financial resources to public health workers during the Covid-19 pandemic. The executive power contested the validity of this decree on the ground that in Peru only the executive power could initiate the enactment of budget laws, therefore, the procedural requirements of adopting such a statute have not been met. The Constitutional Tribunal agreed with the claimant and abrogated the law as unconstitutional due to its inconformity with the separation of powers and the competence of the executive to manage public finances.	https://tc.gob.pe/jurisprudencia/2020/00011-2020-AI.pdf		https://www.covid19litigation.org/case-index/peru-constitutional-court-no-00011-2020-pitc-2020-12-15
June 18. 2020.	No. 01134-2020-PHC/TC	Constitutional Tribunal of Peru	Rights of prisoners	The Constitutional Tribunal of Peru rejected the habeas corpus action of a prisoner requesting his transfer to a hospital from the prison during the Covid-19 pandemic.	The claimant was imprisoned and he communicated in the prison with persons infected with Covid-19. He also felt the symptoms of that illness, however, his test was negative. The claimant then submitted a habeas corpus action to the ordinary courts requesting his transfer to a hospital, where he could receive proper medical treatment against the illness. The first two instances of ordinary courts rejected the claim and this was also followed by the Constitutional Tribunal which argued, that the requested treatment has been already provided in the prison, while the infection of the claimant was not justified, therefore, his detention was not amounted to a disproportionate restriction on his fundamental rights. As a consequence, the habeas corpus action was rejected.	https://tc.gob.pe/jurisprudencia/2020/01134-2020-HC%201.pdf		https://www.covid19litigation.org/case-index/peru-constitutional-court-no-01134-2020-phctc-2020-06-18

He challenged the lack of proper medical treatment in the prison and also the lack of separate bed for each prisoners forced him to sleep on the ground regularly. The ordinary courts rejected his petition, so he turned to the Constitutional Tribunal.
